Letters inviting car clubs to attend were mailed out last week. Car owners can register on our web site, can return the letter invitation, or can show up and register.

Dr. Angelica Diaz-MartInez spoke of the work of NJ Cerebral Palsy. She is VP of Operations and director for the family homes in northern NJ for NJ Cerebral Palsy. Most of the consumers have severe developmental disabilities and require constant care. Some can learn basic daily living skills -- eating, dressing, bathing, toileting – but many are unable to care for themselves. NJCP evaluates children for their needs, offers schools up to adult vocational training for some. Family homes are being situated in many NJ communities; thus far 13 communities have cooperated and opened adult group residences.Dr. Diaz-Martinez wrote later on Tuesday to the club:Thank you for giving CPNJ the opportunity to present information about our agency to the Rotary Club of Bernardsville.
